Bed bug control techniques#Bean leaves

  • that spreading bean leaves in infested areas will capture and immobilize bed bugs?
  • Comment: The ===Bean leaves=== section is new to the article. The primary reason for this nomination is as a public health issue. The citations with the novel research were published on 2013-04-10. The findings of this research can significantly change how people will deal with bed bugs. Since bed bugs have become pesticide-resistant and since the bean leaves is a natural control, it is because of the importance of these findings & the need to publicize them that I am nominating this article for DYK, & not because of a major expansion of the article itself.

  • Symbol delete vote.svgChanged from "/" to "X". We do not nominate just one section. Articles are to be nominated as a whole. As for two sections themselves (Bean leaves and Essential oils), they are below 1,500 characters in prose size. And I don't think WP:IAR applies here. --George Ho (talk) 10:37, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
It is a pity that there is not some way of getting significant breaking public health issues like this onto the main page. CNN is now covering it, however, so I guess the news is getting out there. Peaceray (talk) 20:40, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Wouldn't that be In The News ?— Maile (talk) 23:01, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
I suggested it earlier. --George Ho (talk) 23:25, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Ah...and so you did...thanks the post here. — Maile (talk) 23:44, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg Due to this being a section, rather than an article: completely incompatible with policies. I'm sorry.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 21:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
